A Worthy Clause starts at 9:00 AM on December 12, 2026, giving traveling runners a reasonable morning window to get to Columbia, Tennessee. The race offers two distance options: a 1-mile run and a 5K. The event takes place at 102 Riverside Drive. Entry fees range from $20 to $30, making this an affordable option for your race calendar. If you're planning to run this event, book lodging close enough to allow an unhurried drive to the venue before the 9:00 AM start. December weather in Tennessee can vary, so prepare accordingly and plan your pre-race routine the night before to keep the morning logistics simple.
